Potential role of sugar transporters in cancer and their relationship with anticancer therapy
(Hindawi, 2010-06-20)
[Abstract] Sugars, primarily glucose and fructose, are the main energy source of cells. Because of their hydrophilic nature, cells use a number of transporter proteins to introduce sugars through their plasma membrane. ...
A novel procedure for protein extraction from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues
(Wiley, 2011-05-18)
[Abstract] Most of the archived pathological specimens in hospitals are kept as formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues (FFPE) for long-term preservation. Up to now, these samples are only used for immunohistochemistry ...
Role of the microtubule-targeting drug vinflunine on cell-cell adhesions in bladder epithelial tumour cells
(BioMed Central, 2014-07-10)
[Abstract]
Background. Vinflunine (VFL) is a microtubule-targeting drug that suppresses microtubule dynamics, showing anti-metastatic properties both in vitro and in living cancer cells. An increasing body of evidence ...
Biological influence of Hakai in cancer: a 10-year review
(Springer, 2012-02-19)
[Abstract] In order to metastasize, cancer cells must first detach from the primary tumor, migrate, invade through tissues, and attach to a second site. Hakai was discovered as an E3 ubiquitin-ligase that mediates the ...
Multiple biomarker tissue arrays: a computational approach to identifying protein-protein interactions in the EGFR/ERK signalling pathway
(BioMed Central, 2012-09-01)
[Abstract]
Background. Many studies have demonstrated genetic and environmental factors that lead to renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and that occur during a protracted period of tumourigenesis. It appears suitable to identify ...
miR-203 regulates cell proliferation through Its influence on Hakai expression
(PLoS, 2012-12-20)
Gene expression is potently regulated through the action of microRNAs (miRNAs). Here, we present evidence of a miRNA regulating Hakai protein. Hakai was discovered as an E3 ubiquitin-ligase that mediates the posttranslational ...
Sunitinib-induced asthenia: from molecular basis to clinical relief
(Taylor & Francis, 2011-11-01)
[Abstract] Asthenia-fatigue syndrome (AFS) is defined as a persistent, subjective sense of tiredness related to cancer or its treatment and greatly impacts quality of life among cancer patients. All tyrosine kinase inhibitors, ...
Posttranscriptional regulation by RNA-binding proteins during epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition
(Springer, 2013-05-29)
[Abstract] Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), one of the crucial steps for carcinoma cells to acquire invasive capacity, results from the disruption of cell–cell contacts and the acquisition of a motile mesenchymal ...
Bioinformatics approach to mRNA markers discovery for detection of circulating tumor cells in patients with gastrointestinal cancer
(Elsevier, 2008)
[Abstract] Background: Detection of tumor cells in the blood, or minimal deposits in distant organs as bone marrow, could be important to identify cancer patients at high risk of relapse or disease progression. Quantitative ...
